His own laptop was ten years old, give or take, and was slow and only about half useful, like his flip phone, which he referred to as phlip phone in his mind to jazz it up. The mere sight of his phone seemed to irritate and astound people, as if he were carrying an abacus around his neck. Actually people would admire the abacus.
